| Sumario: | "This study of C.S. Lewis' well-known 1942 apologetic texts, the Broadcast Talks, brings into focus the peculiar way he presents the Christian faith without reference to the Bible, and more broadly, his particular conception of the incarnation of Christ as the central event of history. A careful analysis of Lewis' discourse in the Broadcast Talks uncovers the foundational role myth assumes in these lectures, revealing in turn Lewis' strategic appeal to universal human experience to convince his audience. The extent to which Lewis jointly elicits his listeners' imaginative and rational capacities has been overlooked by previous commentators who have treated Lewis' work in terms of the more traditional themes of classical apologetics and didactic style. In contrast, the reading of the Broadcast Talks presented here offers evidence of the multiple tactics Lewis employed to draw on his audience's innate sensibilities and thus leads to a new understanding of Lewis' catchphrase, "[God] by our own means". What appears in these radio broadcast scripts is a mythical theology - differentiated from both natural theology and Barthian Christology - which claims to both convey the meaning and validate the truth of the gospel. While Lewis' use of myth to give meaning and lend credence to the gospel is criticized here for its overt dramatization of history and failure to account for revelation (imminence at the expense of transcendence), it is nonetheless shown to hold up under the scrutiny of Hegel's phenomenological categories and Ricoeur's historiographical criteria. From these analyses emerges a Lewisian anthropology in which human beings are allegedly enabled, through myth, to acknowledge the Christian God, and where the cognitive conditions supplied by myth make recognition of Christ in the gospel message and acceptance of his salvation possible. |
